Trout trade.

[Mithrandir]

12 team mixed 5x5 keeper league

I was offered Cano ($28 in 2013) and Choo ($26 in 2013) for Trout who is $6 in 2013 and $11 in 2014.

After i alter my lineup, the trade would effectively come down to:

Trout/Crisp for Cano/Choo. Who would you prefer rest of year?

And would it be enough of a difference to trade the awesome keeper that is Trout?

Thanks.

I really like Cano and there's no way I'd do that deal.

[Sam]

I'd want a lot more for trout

[revo]

Crisp has been red hot too. Why bother?

[virgonomic]

I'd want two Canos, maybe 3, to give up Trout's production this year and keeper value.

Don't make a deal just because you like to make deals. Remember when you traded a cheap rookie Pujols?

For a player of Trout's caliber at that cheap of a price for 3 years, i would be looking for a trade that upgraded my team at 3 or 4 positions.

[Gregg]

If Trout and Cano were the same price with the same contract years I would not trade Trout for Cano straight up. You have Trout plus $22 for 2013 and plus $17 for 2014. The difference between Choo and Crisp is no where near enough to swing this deal.

The only time you trade a $6/$11 Trout is when you get enough to insure a first place finish.

By the way how much is Crisp?

[joncarlos]

Yeah, I would want 3 studs at minimum. Cano is a good start. Choo isn't bad, if the 3rd player you were getting back was a top-15 kind of guy.

Thanks guys. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't thinking too big for what i should get for Trout.

What if i got Kershaw Choo and Cano for Trout?

[joncarlos]

What if i got Kershaw Choo and Cano for Trout?

That's a lot better. Is Cano a decent keeper at 26? I'd be awfully tempted to do that if it means you should win.

Cano would be $31 if kept next year. Keepable in my league.
